The traditional New Year’s Eve will start on 10:00 PM and will have a line-up composed of folk and pop singers. The New Year will be marked with a fireworks display. The concert will last until 2:00AM.

Baziuc warned motorists not to consume alcohol as the police will be particularly watchful. Extra patrols will be deployed on New Year’s Eve.
